Have you actually used Siri? It’s a fucking joke Apple has no idea how to do AI. I think they will be better off than on Windows.
I mean MacOSX put AI in the OS, Siri, and all their apps as well so I can’t really see how the change would be do to AI. Privacy maybe

Siri is bad but at least it has natural language processing. I think it’s so funny how CEOs have no idea how LLMs work.
Over a year ago Apple literally ran an ad showing off an “Apple Intelligence” feature that you could tell nobody at Apple ran by the actual engineers before deciding it was possible. It (of course) has still not been released.

Nah we have it blocked in our management profile at the moment. We didn’t want to deal with figuring out what could go wrong with it as particular updates come out so we just blocked it from all the work machines.

It stays out of your way though. Windows wants it to be your entire pc interface so they can charge you monthly for it eventually

On MacOS, at least for now, AI isn’t prominent at all. I’ve been using an M4 Air for a month before I remembered that Apple Intelligence was a thing and had to google how to use it. So far it only seems to be partially available in 1st party Apple apps which I don’t use anyway.

Mail, Messages, Notes, Phone, Photos, Reminders, Safari, Shortcuts are all being integrated. That’s outside of the whole image creation, integration into smartlook (basically windows search), and whatever else I can’t think of at the moment. The one good thing I’ve seen is that you can turn it off. But it does scan your text to provide synonyms, summaries, recordings… And that’s just what it shows when I click intro.
I’m just glad it is easy to turn off

As I said, those are all 1st party applications. I don’t see it anywhere being OS-wide. And what’s “smartlook”? Do you mean Spotlight? I haven’t seen any AI in Spotlight, but I also haven’t installed (the janky) Tahoe yet.

Yeah sorry I meant spotlight, smartlook is another tool I was thinking about for a different company. (Intuit, unrelated screen sharing I got the names crossed in my head). And yes Tahoe is the product that has those features.

Yeah, I think that apple isn’t as pushy as Microsoft (they can get stubborn sometimes) when it comes to AI, not to mention that apple intelligence feels like a response to the market more than something they actually wanted (mostly due the fact it feels half-backed and rushed)
Also they haven’t had many privacy scandals as Microsoft (as far as I can remember, the Siri was the only one in modern times, besides some zero exploits in the wild)

Apple has its own can of worms, but privacy usually isn’t the issue. At least in comparison to other tech giants.
